The Onion

The Onion Training Sessions are an initiative set up by UK Screen Association which is aimed junior staff within their membership.

Over the course of the year the sessions will aim to peel back the layers of the film, TV and commercials sector, giving those just starting out in their career a useful insight in to the industry and help them develop their career. They will take the form of panel discussions, workshops and skills based events which will be held after work hours every month.

The sessions are free with the only criteria being your employer is a member of UK Screen and that you hold a junior position within that company.
